It seems that Bacula is most often compared to Amanda though, while BackupPC seems a perfectly lovely and popular backup distribution to.

I currently backup my servers with rsnapshot, but I am looking for a professional scalable solution that could also back-up 50 hosts without problems. Preferably a solution that can offer bare metal restores for my Linux servers. I am not looking to reinstall the exact same version of Plesk, the software, etc...

Update: I see this ranks high in Google, I found a good article: http://www.serverfocus.org/backuppc-vs-bacula-vs-amanda. I personally think that BackupPC is good for smaller environment, but Bacula, despite the high learning curve, is better for environments that requilre scaling.

I'm not really sure what you're asking here -- perhaps you can edit your question to clarify? If you're looking for advice, I would say that I've been using Bacula successfully for many years, and if properly configured it is scalable and easy to manage. It also behaves in a manner that any backup/storage guy will be able to understand pretty easily. More info/stories/etc. @ linux.com/archive/feature/132562

How does Plesk factor into any of this?

Awhile ago, when I was attempting to replace my excellent collection of shell scripts to perform backups to a tape library with Bacula, I noticed one significant problem. The fact that it could not manage multiple tape drives for operations. This might have changed but it was a significant issue to me. What eventually happened was that the Netbackup package was implemented since my company got the license cheaper as part of a company takeover.
